    Powerpoint viewer's file association problem

    It is best to save the attached PPT/PPS file to a folder first. The viewer can get confused when looking inside a mail folder file. This FAQ doesn't tell you much more, but the FAQ is an amazing resource for PowerPoint users. **Can't open presentations from within Outlook Express after...

    Powaepoint: displaying title of next slide

    Try this. It is almost the same, but will not be thrown off by blank slides with added shapes: Sub MyPath() With ActivePresentation For i = 1 To .Slides.Count - 1 If .Slides(i + 1).Layout <> ppLayoutBlank Then .Slides(i).HeadersFooters.Footer.Visible = msoTrue...

    Powerpoint 2003 - &quot;Credits&quot; animation stops after 15 seconds

    To adjust the custom timing of animations... In the animation task pane, use the pull down menu next to the Credits animation. Select Timing from the list. In the Timing box on the resulting dialog box, enter the number of seconds you would like the animation to run. ** But this is not the...

    powerpoint slide show won't embed mp3 files

    Bottom line -- PowerPoint NEVER, EVER embeds MP3 file. You are best off copying the mps to the folder with the PPT file PRIOR to "inserting" it into the presntation. The link will be relative and as long as the MP3 is with the PPT, it should play. In short, keep them all in the same folder...

    Dialog Box Monitor

    Or just write a simple VB code that checks the title of every open window every second or so. If you get a match, send an e-mail. Look for the MSDN article titled HOWTO: Get a Window's Class Name and Other Window Attributes Last reviewed: October 10, 1997 Article ID: Q112649 It will give...

    Powerpoint XP Add-In

    Basically, yes. What isn't the add-in doing that it should, or doing that it shouldn't?

    PPT V2000 Controlling Color Palette

    Don't do this unless you are really sure you want to. Option Explicit Sub AddColorScheme() With ActivePresentation.ColorSchemes.Add .Colors(ppBackground).RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255) .Colors(ppForeground).RGB = RGB(0, 255, 0) ' etc. etc. etc. End With End Sub Sub...

    Power Point Notes Pane

    Clicking the following sequence in PowerPoint sets macro security: Tools | Macro | Security... | {tab} Security Level Your selection here depends on your comfort level. I use Medium most of the time. I do not recommend leaving the setting on Low. I'd also recommend, while you are in the...

    Power Point Notes Pane

    Try this macro. I'd recommend making a copy of the presentation first, just in case. Sub RemoveNotes() Dim x As Integer With ActivePresentation For x = 1 To .Slides.Count .Slides(x).NotesPage. _ Shapes(2).TextFrame. _ TextRange.Text = "" Next x End Sub

    I'm stumped in PowerPoint

    A common slide is a slide that appears exactly the same between two or more presentations. This is done so that the casual observer (sometimes referred to as the audience) does not notice that the presentation has changed. You can use a black slide, or a design, or a picture, whatever, as long...

    Syncing Two Horizontal ListBox ScrollBars in Excel

    If sync is important, why not create a single double-wide listbox with two grouped columns of data?

    Sending control codes to projector from powerpoint

    This may sound a little silly, but... ... do you know that the projector accepts commands via the video screen input. Have you read the users manual for the projector? Very few that I have dealt with use this method of control. Perhaps there is a seldom-used remote control for the projector...

    How to tell your boss he can't look at porn!

    Do 'required maintenance' on his hard drive about once a week. Take the unit out of his office and re-format his hard drive. (At least wipe out his favorites and history.) If it takes 2 weeks of this for him to ask 'why?', I'd be surprised. Tell him that he has a well hidden virus, spyware or...

    Is this wrong?

    Two things to add... If it is for a church, then you may be able to get a copyright 'clearing house' license for videos. This is a paid contact to report your use of any videos and they settle with the various artists and studios. We use CCLI, but I'm sure there are others. (CCLI does music...

    Getting text to become Powerpoint slides

    Sorry, slight misunderstanding. The web space to put that add-in on-line was furnished by an amazing individual named Steve. While I also love cats, I live in the state next to his. Yes, I do the tech stuff for our church, but dislike being in front of a crowd. I prefer not to be a worship...

    Getting text to become Powerpoint slides

    Sounds like you are going about this the hard way. May I suggest a slightly different approach? 1) the database is a good idea. Song title, tempo, key, subject, season, dates the song was done, etc. 2) create individual song ppt files. I try not to re-invent the wheel each time I build a...

    Getting text to become Powerpoint slides

    Sorry, I do not know how to force formatting from text files or how to force the use of title and text placeholders from html. On the first, I believe that the goal is to help getting the text where it needs to be, allowing you to format at will. I do not think it was intended as a build from...

    How do I get my Boss fired

    There is another way, although this is an old thread and I'm sure your problem has resolved one way or another. Do a stellar job; make him look so good that they promote him/her. Incompetence is the result of poor management, and the only way to rid a company of it is to have someone over the...

    Cool &quot;tech toy&quot; as a reward - What?

    More important than all the toys and bobbles, may sure you walk up to the employee, shake his/her hand, and say, &quot;thank you, you done good.&quot; Having been on both sides of management, it is amazing how important a pat on the back is to everyone (not just the pattee). It shows that: a)...

    Getting text to become Powerpoint slides

    PowerPoint does not require special codes or VBA to do this. It can import text files to slides based on the Outline level. Slide Title for slide 1 Point number 1 Sub point 1 Sub point 2 Point 2 Slide Title for slide 2 Point 1 ... and so on .... MS Word can send a...
